UiB Learning Conference 2025
The program for UiB's annual Learning Conference on October 17 is now ready. The theme is sustainability in teaching and learning in higher education. Welcome to a varied day with presentations from guests, students, and staff at UiB!
Main content
The programme includes presentations on how sustainability is an integral part of teaching and learning, how sustainability is linked to internationalisation, and how the commitment to sustainability is put into practice by institutions and individuals.
We are delighted that Anne-Kathrin Peters, Associate Professor of Technology Education with a focus on sustainability (KTH Stockholm) and expert in education for sustainability, will give the keynote speech at the conference.
The programme includes paper presentations, poster presentations, workshops and a concluding panel discussion. Lunch will be served, and there will be plenty of time for conversation with colleagues and students from across UiB.

Conference formats
Option paper presentations
A paper presentation is an oral presentation of the aspects you want to talk about. Each presenter is given 15 minutes to present a clear argument or case, followed by a 5-minute discussion with the audience. Participants are encouraged to use presentation tools, such as PowerPoint, to improve accessibility for oral presentations. Presenters will be provided with short guidelines to support the design of inclusive and accessible oral presentations. Since paper presentations often result in passivity among the audience, please make sure that your presentation will be engaging and concise.
Option poster presentations
Poster sessions involve six to eight posters. Poster authors give a short overview of max. 2 minutes to the audience gathered as a group, followed by an in-depth discussion between them and the audience. The poster sessions offer researchers the chance to present their work in a visual format and offer more opportunities for interaction and discussion. Your poster should be in the A0 portrait format and must be delivered to the conference site by 8.30 am on the conference day.
